TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM

"THE HERE WE STAND" SERIES.
00:00:48.13\00:00:50.76
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE
THINK OF WHEN THEY THINK ABOUT
00:00:56.06\00:00:58.03
THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
MOVEMENT IS WHAT WE CALL
00:00:58.03\00:01:00.60
THE HEALTH MESSAGE.
00:01:00.60\00:01:02.86
AND THAT'S OUR
SUBJECT THIS MORNING.
00:01:02.86\00:01:05.33
IT'S ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SUBJECTS.
00:01:05.33\00:01:06.90
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO YOU
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MIRACULOUS
00:01:06.90\00:01:10.33
MEDICINE.
00:01:10.33\00:01:11.73
BUT I WANT TO BEGIN AS I
OFTEN DO WITH AN AMAZING FACT.
00:01:11.73\00:01:16.30
IF THERE EVER IS A
MIRACLE DRUG, THAT MIRACLE DRUG
00:01:16.30\00:01:21.16
IN THE LAST CENTURY
WOULD'VE BEEN PENICILLIN.
00:01:21.16\00:01:24.43
IT'S MIND BOGGLING TO THINK
ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED THAT
00:01:24.43\00:01:29.43
DID NOT NEED TO DIE FROM SIMPLE
INFECTIONS BECAUSE THEY REALLY
00:01:29.43\00:01:34.06
HAD NO WAY TO PREVENT OR TO
TREAT IT, SO MANY CASUALTIES ON
00:01:34.06\00:01:37.46
THE BATTLEFIELD BECAUSE
SIMPLE INFECTIONS SPREAD.
00:01:37.46\00:01:40.93
WELL, FIRST IT WAS
ALEXANDER FLEMING, LATER
00:01:40.93\00:01:44.20
SIR ALEXANDER FLEMING, THE
DOCTOR AT ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL.
00:01:44.20\00:01:47.70
HE HAD A CULTURE WITH SOME
STAPH INFECTION GROWING IN IT.
00:01:47.70\00:01:52.66
AND HE NOTICED THAT A MOLD
HAD SOMEHOW CONTAMINATED IT.
00:01:52.66\00:01:55.40
AND WHERE THE MOLD
WAS, THIS PENICILLIN MOLD,
00:01:55.40\00:01:59.10
IT WAS PREVENTING THE
GROWTH OF THE BACTERIUM.
00:01:59.10\00:02:03.30
AND HE MADE A NOTE OF
THAT, WANTED TO DO MORE RESEARCH
00:02:03.30\00:02:06.00
BUT IT WASN'T TOO
LONG-- THAT WAS 1928--
00:02:06.00\00:02:08.63
WORLD WAR II CAME AROUND,
AND THREE OTHER SCIENTISTS FROM
00:02:08.63\00:02:14.43
OXFORD UNIVERSITY, THEY RESUMED
DR. FLEMING'S STUDIES AND
00:02:14.43\00:02:18.83
THEY SAID, "WE REALLY
NEED SOMETHING FOR THE SOLDIERS
00:02:18.83\00:02:20.76
ON THE BATTLEFIELD."
00:02:20.76\00:02:21.70
AND THEY WENT INTO OVERDRIVE
TRYING TO DEVELOP THIS MOLD
00:02:21.70\00:02:25.26
AND TRY AND FIND WHERE
THEY COULD REPRODUCE QUICKLY.
00:02:25.26\00:02:27.70
THEY WERE AFRAID THAT
THE GERMANS WOULD BOMB THEIR
00:02:27.70\00:02:30.10
FACILITIES, AND THEY
WERE PREPARED TO SMUGGLE MOLD
00:02:30.10\00:02:32.50
IN THEIR CLOTHING OUT OF
THE COUNTRY 'CAUSE IT WAS SUCH
00:02:32.50\00:02:34.90
A TOP-SECRET IMPORTANT STUDY.
00:02:34.90\00:02:36.93
THEY FINALLY HAD THE RESEARCH
CONTINUE IN NORTH AMERICA,
00:02:36.93\00:02:40.20
NOT FAR FROM PEORIA, AND THEY
WERE LOOKING FOR THE VERY BEST
00:02:40.20\00:02:42.83
CULTURE AND THEY WERE OFFERING
A REWARD TO THOSE WHO COULD FIND
00:02:42.83\00:02:45.60
THE BEST MOLD.
00:02:45.60\00:02:46.73
THE PEOPLE WERE ALL
BRINGING THEIR MOLDY FOOD
00:02:46.73\00:02:48.36
TO THE RESEARCH LAB.
00:02:48.36\00:02:50.20
THIS ONE LADY BROUGHT A
CANTALOUPE THAT HAD STUFF
00:02:50.20\00:02:52.33
GROWING ON IT, AND IT PROVED
THAT THE MOLD ON THE CANTALOUPE
00:02:52.33\00:02:56.50
WAS ONE OF THE BEST AND
THEY COULD GROW IT THREE TIMES
00:02:56.50\00:02:58.80
AS FAST.
00:02:58.80\00:02:59.60
AND THEY COULD NOT GET
IT MADE QUICKLY ENOUGH.
00:02:59.60\00:03:02.33
IN THE FIRST FEW DOSES OF
PENICILLIN, IT COST $20 A DOSE.
00:03:02.33\00:03:06.03
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT
WAS BACK DURING THE WAR?
00:03:06.03\00:03:08.40
THAT WAS 1943.
00:03:08.40\00:03:10.16
BY THE END OF THE WAR,
IT WAS 50 CENTS A DOSE.
00:03:10.16\00:03:13.13
AND IT WAS A MIRACLE WHAT THEY
HAD DONE AND SO MANY PEOPLE THAT
00:03:13.13\00:03:16.03
WOULD'VE BEEN WRITTEN
OFF AS HOPELESS AND TERMINAL.
00:03:16.03\00:03:18.30
IT WAS
CONSIDERED A MIRACLE CURE.
00:03:18.30\00:03:21.50
WELL YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT
OF STATIONS, A LOT OF MAGAZINES,
00:03:21.50\00:03:27.16
A LOT OF MARKETERS THAT
ARE SELLING MIRACLE DRUGS,
00:03:27.16\00:03:30.50
FOOD SUPPLEMENTS, AND IT IS
A MULTIBILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS.
00:03:30.50\00:03:34.76
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:03:34.76\00:03:35.90
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SICK.
00:03:35.90\00:03:38.23
THERE'S A LOT OF SICKNESS
IN OUR CULTURE IN SPITE OF ALL
00:03:38.23\00:03:40.93
THE MIRACULOUS DISCOVERIES IN
MEDICINE AND THE MODERN ADVANCES
00:03:40.93\00:03:44.33
IN TECHNOLOGY AND IN TREATMENT.
00:03:44.33\00:03:46.16
IT SEEMS LIKE MORE PEOPLE
ARE SICK NOW THAN EVER BEFORE.
00:03:46.16\00:03:49.26
AND IT USED TO BE WHEN PEOPLE
MIGHT HAVE DIED A LITTLE SOONER,
00:03:49.26\00:03:52.60
A FEW GENERATIONS
AGO, THEY DIED EASIER.
00:03:52.60\00:03:55.66
THEY JUST SORT OF FELL OVER.
00:03:55.66\00:03:57.66
NOW, PEOPLE START DYING AT 50
AND THEY LAST UNTIL THEY'RE 80.
00:03:57.66\00:04:01.56
AND THEY'RE JUST SICK
THE WHOLE TIME AND SUFFERING
00:04:01.56\00:04:05.00
AND MISERABLE.
00:04:05.00\00:04:06.46
AND THERE IS A HEALTH-CARE
CRISIS THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY
00:04:06.46\00:04:10.33
RECOGNIZES RIGHT
NOW IN THE COUNTRY.
00:04:10.33\00:04:12.50
AND THE GREATEST PROBLEM
WITH OUR HEALTHCARE CRISIS
00:04:12.50\00:04:15.73
IS NOT JUST THAT
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE INSURANCE.
00:04:15.73\00:04:18.83
THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT WHAT 15
TO 20% OF PEOPLE HAVE NO MEDICAL
00:04:18.83\00:04:22.30
INSURANCE AND THE
MEDICAL COSTS ARE SO HIGH.
00:04:22.30\00:04:26.03
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE TIP.
00:04:26.03\00:04:29.23
I WAS JUST IN COLOMBIA.
00:04:29.23\00:04:31.66
AND WHILE I WAS IN COLOMBIA,
I HAVE--MY HEALTH PROBLEM IS
00:04:31.66\00:04:36.30
HAY FEVER.
00:04:36.30\00:04:37.66
YOU GOT RAGWEED HERE IN
MICHIGAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:04:37.66\00:04:40.33
THE WIND'S BEEN
BLOWING THE LAST FEW DAYS,
00:04:40.33\00:04:42.80
AND I'M SNIFFING RIGHT NOW.
00:04:42.80\00:04:44.33
WHEN I WAS IN COLOMBIA,
THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE THAT
00:04:44.33\00:04:45.86
AGGRAVATED ME AND SO I
WENT TO THE STORE TO GET THIS
00:04:45.86\00:04:47.86
PRESCRIPTION FOR SOMETHING.
00:04:47.86\00:04:49.00
AND ONE LITTLE PILL I
TAKE, IT KEEPS MY HEAD CLEAR.
00:04:49.00\00:04:51.30
AND HERE IN AMERICA, IF IT
WASN'T FOR MY MEDICAL INSURANCE,
00:04:51.30\00:04:55.10
IT'S LIKE $10 A PILL.
00:04:55.10\00:04:57.73
I DID NOT EVEN NEED A
PRESCRIPTION TO GET IT
00:04:57.73\00:05:00.16
IN COLOMBIA; IT
WAS 10 CENTS A PILL.
00:05:00.16\00:05:03.40
SOMETHING'S
FISHY, SAME EXACT PILL.
00:05:03.40\00:05:07.10
AND SO, I BOUGHT A NICE
SUPPLY WHILE I WAS DOWN THERE.
00:05:07.10\00:05:11.96
BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES
AND BECAUSE OF THE DEEP-POCKET
00:05:11.96\00:05:16.13
SUITS IN OUR COUNTRY,
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PROBLEM.
00:05:16.13\00:05:22.43
AND THE HEALTH--WHAT DO
YOU CALL IT--THE EMERGENCY
00:05:22.43\00:05:25.36
ROOMS ARE JUST BACKED UP.
00:05:25.36\00:05:26.76
BUT HEAVEN FORBID YOU GET SICK,
YOU GO TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM.
00:05:26.76\00:05:29.06
IF YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE
SICK, WAITING THERE FOR 4 HOURS,
00:05:29.06\00:05:31.56
YOU MIGHT GET SOMETHING
THAT'LL REALLY TAKE YOU OUT.
00:05:31.56\00:05:35.16
AND PEOPLE ALL LINED
UP, AND THERE IS A CRISIS.
00:05:35.16\00:05:37.36
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I
THINK THE BIGGEST CRISIS IS?
00:05:37.36\00:05:40.16
THE BIGGEST CRISIS, I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT THE MIRACLE PILL
00:05:40.16\00:05:42.56
THAT WE SHOULD DISTRIBUTE
IN NORTH AMERICA IS THAT NOBODY
00:05:42.56\00:05:45.40
IS TAKING.
00:05:45.40\00:05:47.20
IT'S CALLED THE
PILL OF PREVENTION.
00:05:47.20\00:05:50.40
EVERYBODY'S WANTING TO TREAT THE
RESULTS, AND NOBODY'S WANTING
00:05:50.40\00:05:53.50
TO TREAT WHAT THE CAUSE IS.
00:05:53.50\00:05:56.56
AND THE BIBLE HAS A MIRACLE
MEDICINE IN IT AND IT'S THE KEYS
00:05:56.56\00:06:01.46
TO PREVENTION AND HEALING.
00:06:01.46\00:06:04.10
IT'S NOT JUST PREVENTION.
00:06:04.10\00:06:04.90
IT'S ALSO EVEN THE KEYS OF
THINGS THAT YOU COULD FOLLOW,
00:06:04.90\00:06:07.13
PRACTICAL THINGS YOU
COULD FOLLOW TO BE HEALED.
00:06:07.13\00:06:09.96
LET'S GO TO FIND OUT WHAT THE
BIBLE SAYS ABOUT SOME OF THESE
00:06:09.96\00:06:14.03
PRINCIPLES FOR MIRACLE
MEDICINE AND LONG LIFE.
00:06:14.03\00:06:17.83
YOU KNOW, THE
BIBLE HAS A LOT TO SAY.
00:06:17.83\00:06:19.30
NUMBER ONE: ARE HEALTH
PRINCIPLES REALLY PART OF TRUE
00:06:19.30\00:06:23.10
BIBLE RELIGION?
00:06:23.10\00:06:25.03
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT
THE LORD SAYS IN HIS WORD.
00:06:25.03\00:06:27.80
LOOK WITH ME AT THE THIRD BOOK
OF JOHN VERSE 2, "BELOVED, I
00:06:27.80\00:06:31.80
WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS THAT THOU
MAYEST PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH,
00:06:31.80\00:06:37.50
EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS."
00:06:37.50\00:06:40.06
IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:40.06\00:06:41.60
GOD IS INTERESTED IN A
PHYSICAL PROSPERITY AS WELL AS
00:06:41.60\00:06:44.70
A SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY.
00:06:44.70\00:06:48.33
GOD CARES ABOUT THAT.
00:06:48.33\00:06:49.96
THE NEXT VERSE, IN MATTHEW 4:23,
IT SAYS, "AND JESUS WENT ABOUT
00:06:49.96\00:06:54.83
ALL GALILEE, TEACHING IN
THEIR SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING
00:06:54.83\00:06:59.16
THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM," HE WAS A TEACHER,
00:06:59.16\00:07:01.46
HE WAS A PREACHER, "AND
HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS
00:07:01.46\00:07:05.06
AND DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE."
00:07:05.06\00:07:07.56
NOTICE THAT ALONG WITH
JESUS TEACHING AND PREACHING,
00:07:07.56\00:07:10.76
HE DID WHAT?
00:07:10.76\00:07:12.06
HEALING.
00:07:12.06\00:07:13.20
PART OF THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST
AND EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE
00:07:13.20\00:07:16.56
RELATED TO NOT ONLY TALKING
ABOUT PEOPLE'S SPIRITUAL HEALTH
00:07:16.56\00:07:20.53
AND THEIR MENTAL UNDERSTANDING,
BUT THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
00:07:20.53\00:07:25.80
JOHN 10:10, JESUS SAID,
"I AM COMING THAT THEY MIGHT
00:07:25.80\00:07:30.40
HAVE LIFE," NOT ONLY ETERNAL
LIFE BUT "THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE
00:07:30.40\00:07:33.93
MORE ABUNDANTLY NOW."
00:07:33.93\00:07:35.53
I LIKE THAT PICTURE.
00:07:35.53\00:07:37.13
THAT GENTLEMAN,
HE'S STILL ALIVE TODAY.
00:07:37.13\00:07:39.06
I THINK WHEN THE PICTURE
WAS TAKEN, HE WAS IN HIS 80s.
00:07:39.06\00:07:41.70
HIS NAME IS BANANA GEORGE.
00:07:41.70\00:07:44.46
YOU KNOW WHAT
HIS FAVORITE FOOD IS?
00:07:44.46\00:07:46.56
BANANAS.
00:07:46.56\00:07:48.26
AND DON'T TAKE
THAT PICTURE AWAY.
00:07:48.26\00:07:49.96
I WANT THAT PICTURE UP ON
THE SCREEN FOR JUST A SECOND.
00:07:49.96\00:07:52.73
YOU NOTICE THAT HE
DOESN'T HAVE DENTURES.
00:07:52.73\00:07:55.73
HE'S SKIING WITH
A ROPE IN HIS MOUTH.
00:07:55.73\00:07:59.96
BUT IF HE DID, HE MUST
HAVE REALLY GOOD POLIGRIP.
00:07:59.96\00:08:05.50
HE STARTED SKIING AT 40.
00:08:05.50\00:08:07.16
HE STARTED SKIING
AND HE'S SKIING BAREFOOT.
00:08:07.16\00:08:09.83
STARTED SKIING BAREFOOT AT 46.
00:08:09.83\00:08:11.60
STARTED SNOWBOARDING AT 70.
00:08:11.60\00:08:14.03
HE WAS STILL
SKIING BAREFOOT UP TO 90.
00:08:14.03\00:08:19.43
AND OBVIOUSLY, HE GOT PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE, WATER, FRESH AIR
00:08:19.43\00:08:23.90
AND EXERCISE, WHICH ARE SOME OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS
00:08:23.90\00:08:27.53
TO HEALTH AND LONGEVITY.
00:08:27.53\00:08:29.66
NOW, WHY SHOULD A CHRISTIAN
PRIMARILY BE INTERESTED
00:08:29.66\00:08:32.63
IN GOOD HEALTH?
00:08:32.63\00:08:34.76
WELL, THE PRINCIPLE REASON
IS THAT THIS IS PART AND PARCEL
00:08:34.76\00:08:39.46
OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
00:08:39.46\00:08:41.73
YOUR MIND IS A MIRACLE, ANOTHER
LITTLE AMAZING FACT FOR YOU.
00:08:41.73\00:08:46.36
YOU KNOW, EVEN WITH TODAY'S
MICROPROCESSORS, AND THEY ARE
00:08:46.36\00:08:49.23
MICRO, MICROPROCESSORS TODAY.
00:08:49.23\00:08:52.23
THAT IN ORDER TO BUILD A
COMPUTER THAT WOULD BE ABLE
00:08:52.23\00:08:55.13
TO DO WHAT ONE HUMAN BRAIN DOES,
I HEARD SOMEONE SAY, YOU WOULD
00:08:55.13\00:09:00.46
NEED A BUILDING AS BIG
AS THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
00:09:00.46\00:09:02.93
TO HOLD IT.
00:09:02.93\00:09:04.83
YOU WOULD NEED ALL OF THE WATER
OF NIAGARA FALLS TO POWER IT.
00:09:04.83\00:09:09.03
AND YOU'D NEED THE SAME WATER
OF NIAGARA FALLS TO COOL IT.
00:09:09.03\00:09:12.96
ONE HUMAN BRAIN, BECAUSE IT
WOULD GENERATE SO MUCH HEAT TO
00:09:12.96\00:09:15.40
DO THE PROCESSING THAT'S GOING
ON BETWEEN YOUR EARS RIGHT NOW.
00:09:15.40\00:09:20.20
THAT'S ASSUMING THAT YOU
ARE PROCESSING AND LISTENING
00:09:20.20\00:09:22.36
TO WHAT I'M SAYING.
00:09:22.36\00:09:26.00
YOU'VE GOT THIS MIRACULOUS
2-AND-A-HALF-APPROXIMATELY-POUND
00:09:26.00\00:09:29.06
ELECTROCHEMICAL COMPUTER THAT
IS RECORDING AND PROCESSING A
00:09:29.06\00:09:33.20
FABULOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION.
00:09:33.20\00:09:36.43
I MEAN YOU JUST THINK
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
00:09:36.43\00:09:38.50
AS I'M SPEAKING TO YOU, MY
BRAIN IS NOT ONLY CONTROLLING
00:09:38.50\00:09:40.93
THE THOUGHTS THAT I'M SAYING
AND CONTROLLING THE MUSCLES
00:09:40.93\00:09:43.06
IN MY MOUTH AND MY EYES
AND MY PHYSICAL MANNERISMS.
00:09:43.06\00:09:46.30
IT'S CONTROLLING MY
HEARTBEAT, MY BODY TEMPERATURE,
00:09:46.30\00:09:48.63
THE BREATHING OF MY LUNGS
AND A MILLION OTHER FUNCTIONS
00:09:48.63\00:09:51.56
I'M NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT.
00:09:51.56\00:09:54.16
IT'S A MIRACLE.
00:09:54.16\00:09:55.73
JUST THINK IT ONLY TOOK
50 BILLION YEARS FOR THAT
00:09:55.73\00:09:57.40
TO EVOLVE.
00:09:57.40\00:09:59.33
SORRY, I'M BEING SARCASTIC.
00:09:59.33\00:10:01.03
I DON'T BELIEVE IT EVOLVED.
00:10:01.03\00:10:03.03
NOW, YOUR BRAIN IS
UNIQUE IN THAT NOT ONLY IS IT
00:10:03.03\00:10:06.63
A PHYSICAL ORGAN.
00:10:06.63\00:10:08.60
WE ALL KNOW IF IT DOESN'T GET
BLOOD, IF IT DOESN'T GET OXYGEN,
00:10:08.60\00:10:11.20
THAT IT DIES.
00:10:11.20\00:10:12.70
BUT EVEN BRAIN SURGEONS ADMIT
THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW
00:10:12.70\00:10:15.83
A THOUGHT IS STORED.
00:10:15.83\00:10:17.83
A THOUGHT IS
ALMOST A SPIRITUAL THING.
00:10:17.83\00:10:21.46
SO, YOUR BRAIN IS THE PRINCIPAL
MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH GOD
00:10:21.46\00:10:24.03
COMMUNICATES TO YOU.
00:10:24.03\00:10:26.10
GOD DOES NOT COMMUNICATE
TO YOU THROUGH YOUR ANKLE.
00:10:26.10\00:10:29.70
HE DOES NOT--YOU MIGHT
SAY, "THE LORD IS IN MY HEART."
00:10:29.70\00:10:33.40
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE
AN ELECTRONIC PLASTIC HEART AND
00:10:33.40\00:10:35.76
HE STILL COULD ENTER YOUR HEART,
BUT IT'S NOT THE PLASTIC DEVICE
00:10:35.76\00:10:38.83
THAT'S PUMPING THE BLOOD.
00:10:38.83\00:10:41.06
BUT I'VE NEVER KNOWN
ANYBODY THAT SAYS, "I'VE GOT
00:10:41.06\00:10:43.36
AN ARTIFICIAL BRAIN" OR
HAVING A BRAIN TRANSPLANT.
00:10:43.36\00:10:49.93
IT'S THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:10:49.93\00:10:52.13
GOD SPEAKS TO YOU THROUGH
YOUR BRAIN, YET IT IS PHYSICAL.
00:10:52.13\00:10:55.60
THERE ARE THINGS PHYSICALLY
YOU CAN DO TO TAKE CARE
00:10:55.60\00:10:58.26
OF YOUR MIND.
00:10:58.26\00:10:59.76
THE BETTER YOUR BODY HEALTH IS
IN, THE MORE CLEARLY YOUR MIND
00:10:59.76\00:11:02.93
TYPICALLY THINKS.
00:11:02.93\00:11:05.16
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT
FOR US TO MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH.
00:11:05.16\00:11:08.00
THE CLEARER YOUR MIND IS,
THE EASIER IT IS FOR YOU TO HEAR
00:11:08.00\00:11:10.90
THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING TO YOU.
00:11:10.90\00:11:13.43
IT'S TRUE.
00:11:13.43\00:11:14.23
THE DEVIL WANTS TO BEFUDDLE AND
CLOUD OUR MINDS AND DESTROY OUR
00:11:14.23\00:11:17.23
HEALTH BECAUSE IT MAKES IT MORE
DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPREHEND
00:11:17.23\00:11:19.76
SPIRITUAL TRUTH AND TO
UNDERSTAND HIS VOICE THROUGH OUR
00:11:19.76\00:11:22.10
SPIRIT.
00:11:22.10\00:11:23.76
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR
US TO RECOGNIZE THERE'S THIS
00:11:23.76\00:11:25.73
CONNECTION.
00:11:25.73\00:11:26.90
THAT'S WHY THE DEVIL HAS A WHOLE
GENERATION AND THEY'RE ALL FUZZY
00:11:26.90\00:11:29.86
WITH DRUGS AND ROCK MUSIC THAT'S
FEVERED THEIR BRAINS AND VIDEO
00:11:29.86\00:11:35.20
GAMES AND SO THAT THEY
CAN'T THINK CLEARLY AND HEAR THE
00:11:35.20\00:11:39.20
SIMPLE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
SPEAKING THROUGH THE SENSITIVE
00:11:39.20\00:11:42.03
NERVES AND THE SYNAPSES
TAKING PLACES IN THEIR MINDS.
00:11:42.03\00:11:47.13
ONE OF THE BEST REASONS THEN TO
TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH IS TAKE
00:11:47.13\00:11:50.83
CARE OF YOUR BRAIN 'CAUSE GOD
SPEAKS TO US THROUGH OUR MINDS.
00:11:50.83\00:11:55.20
YOU WANT TO HAVE GOOD HEALTH AND
A CLEAR MIND SO YOU CAN WORSHIP
00:11:55.20\00:12:00.10
GOD BETTER AND SO
YOU CAN SERVE GOD BETTER.
00:12:00.10\00:12:03.60
SO, THE THREE REASONS TO TAKE
CARE OF YOUR HEALTH IS: ONE, FOR
00:12:03.60\00:12:06.96
THE GLORY OF GOD; TWO, BECAUSE
YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AND YOU
00:12:06.96\00:12:10.56
WANT TO SERVE HIM BETTER;
THREE, 'CAUSE YOU LOVE YOURSELF
00:12:10.56\00:12:13.60
AND YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.
00:12:13.60\00:12:15.26
YOU'LL HAVE A LONGER LIFE AND
A BETTER LIFE IF YOU TAKE CARE
00:12:15.26\00:12:17.33
OF YOUR HEALTH.
00:12:17.33\00:12:18.90
SO, I CAN'T OVEREMPHASIZE THIS.
00:12:18.90\00:12:21.10
AND PART OF THE REASON THE BIBLE
EVEN TEACHES FASTING, YOU ALMOST
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.03
NEVER HEAR PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT THAT ANYMORE, BUT IT IS A
00:12:24.03\00:12:26.30
NEW AND OLD
TESTAMENT TEACHING, AMEN?
00:12:26.30\00:12:28.70
IT'S BECAUSE IT GIVES YOUR MIND
A CHANCE TO REST AND YOUR BLOOD
00:12:28.70\00:12:33.03
GETS PURIFIED BECAUSE WE'RE
EATING SO MUCH SOMETIMES, OUR
00:12:33.03\00:12:37.00
BLOOD IS SO FULL OF SUGAR
AND FAT AND THE DIFFERENT THINGS
00:12:37.00\00:12:39.30
WE'RE EATING.
00:12:39.30\00:12:40.06
IT BEFUDDLES OUR
THINKING A LITTLE BIT.
00:12:40.06\00:12:41.80
IT'S GOOD TO FAST PERIODICALLY,
TYPICALLY ONCE A WEEK.
00:12:41.80\00:12:44.56
I'M NOT PRAYING LIKE THE
PHARISEE, BUT I TRY TO FAST AT
00:12:44.56\00:12:46.53
LEAST FOR A MEAL IF NOT LONGER,
AND I FIND IT CLEARS MY MIND,
00:12:46.53\00:12:50.36
I HEAR THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING
MORE PRECISELY AND THIS IS PART
00:12:50.36\00:12:54.63
OF GOOD HEALTH.
00:12:54.63\00:12:55.80
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT
TEACHES YOU SELF-CONTROL.
00:12:55.80\00:12:59.60
I MEAN, AND WE ARE NOT A CULTURE
THAT LIKES TO WAIT FOR FOOD,
00:12:59.60\00:13:04.66
DO WE?
00:13:04.66\00:13:06.13
IF LUNCH IS 10 MINUTES
LATE, WE SAY WE'RE STARVING.
00:13:06.13\00:13:08.30
AND MOST OF US DON'T
KNOW WHAT STARVING MEANS.
00:13:08.30\00:13:11.53
NUMBER TWO: WHY DID THE
LORD GIVE THESE HEALTH THINGS
00:13:11.53\00:13:15.10
TO HIS PEOPLE?
00:13:15.10\00:13:15.86
DEUTERONOMY 6:24, "AND THE LORD
COMMANDED US TO DO ALL THESE
00:13:15.86\00:13:20.13
STATUTES FOR OUR GOOD ALWAYS,
THAT HE MIGHT PRESERVE US
00:13:20.13\00:13:24.40
ALIVE."
00:13:24.40\00:13:25.20
IT'S FOR OUR GOOD THAT
HE GAVE US THESE THINGS.
00:13:25.20\00:13:27.73
EXODUS 23:25, "AND YOU SHALL
SERVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND HE
00:13:27.73\00:13:31.96
WILL BLESS YOUR BREAD, AND YOUR
WATER; AND I'LL TAKE SICKNESS
00:13:31.96\00:13:35.53
AWAY FROM THE MIDST OF THEE."
00:13:35.53\00:13:37.70
GOD TOLD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
AS THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE
00:13:37.70\00:13:39.90
WILDERNESS THAT IF THEY WOULD
SERVE THE LORD, HE'D BLESS THEIR
00:13:39.90\00:13:42.20
FOOD.
00:13:42.20\00:13:43.26
WE ALWAYS--I HOPE YOU PRAY OVER
YOUR FOOD AND ASK A BLESSING.
00:13:43.26\00:13:45.56
AND AFTER FOLLOWING THE HEALTH
PRINCIPLES THAT GOD GAVE THE
00:13:45.56\00:13:49.86
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND AFTER
GOING THROUGH THE WILDERNESS,
00:13:49.86\00:13:52.86
BY THE TIME THEY ENTER THE
PROMISED LAND, LISTEN TO WHAT
00:13:52.86\00:13:55.23
IT SAYS ABOUT THEM.
00:13:55.23\00:13:56.73
PSALMS 105:37, "HE BROUGHT
THEM FORTH AND THERE WAS NOT ONE
00:13:56.73\00:14:02.43
FEEBLE PERSON AMONG THEIR
TRIBES," AFTER FOLLOWING THE
00:14:02.43\00:14:06.40
HEALTH PRINCIPLES THAT GOD
HAD GIVEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
00:14:06.40\00:14:08.83
FOR 40 YEARS IN A
NATION OF APPROXIMATELY
00:14:08.83\00:14:12.33
2 AND A HALF MILLION THAT
CROSSED INTO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:14:12.33\00:14:14.86
CAN YOU IMAGINE ANY CITY
WITH 2 AND A HALF MILLION
00:14:14.86\00:14:17.06
AND THE HOSPITAL'S EMPTY?
00:14:17.06\00:14:19.13
WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE?
00:14:19.13\00:14:21.33
"NOT ONE FEEBLE
PERSON AMONG THEIR TRIBES."
00:14:21.33\00:14:24.60
I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO SOLVE THE
MEDICAL CRISIS IN NORTH AMERICA.
00:14:24.60\00:14:28.43
IF ALL OF THE CITIZENS IN OUR
COUNTRY RIGHT NOW WOULD BEGIN
00:14:28.43\00:14:30.90
FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES
OF HEALTH IN THE BIBLE,
00:14:30.90\00:14:32.96
IT WOULD TURN IT AROUND.
00:14:32.96\00:14:35.03
OF COURSE, THE DRUG COMPANIES
WOULD LOSE A LOT OF MONEY
00:14:35.03\00:14:36.76
AND THE HOSPITALS WOULD
HAVE A PROBLEM, SO I'M NOT SURE
00:14:36.76\00:14:38.50
THEY'RE READY FOR THAT.
00:14:38.50\00:14:39.83
THEY MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY
TREATING OUR SICKNESS THAN THEY
00:14:39.83\00:14:42.60
DO TEACHING PREVENTION 'CAUSE
TEACHING PREVENTION CAN BE FREE.
00:14:42.60\00:14:47.70
NUMBER THREE: DO GOD'S
HEALTH RULES HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
00:14:47.70\00:14:52.63
WITH EATING AND DRINKING?
00:14:52.63\00:14:54.96
WELL, THE BIBLE
HAS A LOT TO SAY.
00:14:54.96\00:14:57.00
1 CORINTHIANS 10:31,
"WHETHER THEREFORE YOU EAT,
00:14:57.00\00:15:00.90
OR DRINK, OR WHATSOEVER
YOU DO, DO ALL TO," WHAT?
00:15:00.90\00:15:06.06
"THE GLORY OF GOD."
00:15:06.06\00:15:08.00
NOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO EAT TO
THE GLORY OF GOD, WOULD YOU SAY
00:15:08.00\00:15:11.60
IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME IT
IS POSSIBLE TO NOT EAT TO
00:15:11.60\00:15:15.00
THE GLORY OF GOD?
00:15:15.00\00:15:16.80
IT'S POSSIBLE TO EAT
TO THE GLORY OF THE DEVIL.
00:15:16.80\00:15:19.46
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE,
THAT'S WHO THEY GLORIFY BY
00:15:19.46\00:15:21.80
THE WAY THEY EAT AND THEY DRINK.
00:15:21.80\00:15:23.50
ISAIAH 55, FURTHERMORE, SAYS,
"EAT YE THAT WHICH IS GOOD."
00:15:23.50\00:15:29.36
GOD WOULD NOT COMMAND US TO
EAT THAT WHICH IS GOOD UNLESS
00:15:29.36\00:15:32.20
IT WAS POSSIBLE.
00:15:32.20\00:15:33.13
SOME PEOPLE WERE
EATING THAT WHICH IS BAD.
00:15:33.13\00:15:35.56
IT DOES MATTER.
00:15:35.56\00:15:37.30
IT HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR BODIES.
00:15:37.30\00:15:38.56
IT AFFECTS OUR MINDS.
00:15:38.56\00:15:39.56
IT AFFECTS OUR SPIRITUAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
00:15:39.56\00:15:43.43
NUMBER FOUR: WHAT DID GOD
GIVE PEOPLE TO EAT WHEN HE FIRST
00:15:43.43\00:15:47.36
CREATED THEM IN THE BEGINNING
AND HE PROVIDED THE PERFECT
00:15:47.36\00:15:50.03
DIET?
00:15:50.03\00:15:51.30
WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL DIET
THAT GOD GAVE TO ADAM AND EVE
00:15:51.30\00:15:54.16
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:15:54.16\00:15:55.50
WE CAN LEARN SOMETHING
HERE ABOUT THE IDEAL DIET BY
00:15:55.50\00:15:57.76
LOOKING BACK AT THE BEGINNING.
00:15:57.76\00:15:59.60
GENESIS 1:29, "AND GOD SAID,
BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN YOU EVERY
00:15:59.60\00:16:04.63
HERB BEARING SEED, AND EVERY
TREE, IN WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF
00:16:04.63\00:16:09.10
A TREE YIELDING SEED; TO
YOU IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT."
00:16:09.10\00:16:12.93
AND THAT WORD
"MEAT" THERE MEANS "FOOD."
00:16:12.93\00:16:14.60
IT'S THE OLD ENGLISH WORD.
00:16:14.60\00:16:15.93
THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR MAN WAS
FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS, LEGUMES.
00:16:15.93\00:16:22.13
THAT WAS HIS ORIGINAL DIET.
00:16:22.13\00:16:24.93
THAT'S THE IDEAL DIET.
00:16:24.93\00:16:27.40
MAN WAS EATING FROM THE TREE OF
LIFE AT THIS POINT, AND HE WAS
00:16:27.40\00:16:31.16
INTENDED TO
FLOURISH THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:16:31.16\00:16:33.60
HIS BODY WAS
GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.
00:16:33.60\00:16:35.90
THAT WAS PART OF
GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN.
00:16:35.90\00:16:37.70
AFTER SIN, WHEN MAN WAS EVICTED
FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND HE
00:16:37.70\00:16:41.86
COULD NO LONGER EAT FROM THE
TREE OF LIFE, EVIDENTLY THERE
00:16:41.86\00:16:45.26
WAS SOMETHING MISSING
THAT THE TREE OF LIFE OFFERED.
00:16:45.26\00:16:48.03
GOD WAS NOW GOING TO
SUPPLEMENT IT WITH A SUBSTITUTE,
00:16:48.03\00:16:50.76
AND HE TOLD MAN IN GENESIS 3:18,
HE COULD NOW EAT VEGETABLES.
00:16:50.76\00:16:55.26
AND I'M SURE THERE'S A LOT
OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT THINK THAT
00:16:55.26\00:16:57.96
WAS PART OF THE CURSE.
00:16:57.96\00:16:59.43
IT SAID, "THOU SHALT
EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD."
00:16:59.43\00:17:02.40
NOW, LET ME GIVE
YOU A LITTLE TEST.
00:17:02.40\00:17:04.36
YOU KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS
BETWEEN A FRUIT AND A VEGETABLE?
00:17:04.36\00:17:07.83
ALRIGHT, FRUIT OR
VEGETABLE, TOMATO?
00:17:07.83\00:17:11.80
FRUIT, RIGHT.
00:17:11.80\00:17:13.00
ZUCCHINI?
00:17:13.00\00:17:15.10
RIGHT, A LOT OF PEOPLE
THINK IT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:17:15.10\00:17:20.40
POTATO?
00:17:20.40\00:17:21.40
>> VEGETABLE.
00:17:21.40\00:17:24.96
>> EGGPLANT?
00:17:24.96\00:17:27.46
FRUIT, SOME OF YOU
KNOW WHAT THE RULE IS.
00:17:27.46\00:17:29.33
VERY GOOD, YOU'RE DOING
BETTER THAN MOST CLASSES.
00:17:29.33\00:17:32.00
SOME PEOPLE THINK
EGGPLANT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:17:32.00\00:17:33.66
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
CROOKNECK SQUASH IS FRUIT.
00:17:33.66\00:17:37.93
AND SOME OF YOUR KIDS, IF
THEY DON'T WANT TO EAT ZUCCHINI,
00:17:37.93\00:17:40.66
JUST TELL 'EM IT'S
KIND OF LIKE A GREEN BANANA.
00:17:40.66\00:17:43.00
SEE IF THAT'LL HELP.
00:17:43.00\00:17:44.70
PRETEND.
00:17:44.70\00:17:46.73
THEY'RE FRUIT.
00:17:46.73\00:17:47.46
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FRUIT
AND A VEGETABLE IS THE FRUIT IS
00:17:47.46\00:17:49.80
GOING TO BE THE PRODUCT
OF THE BLOSSOM OF THE PLANT.
00:17:49.80\00:17:52.60
ANYTHING--WATERMELON IS A FRUIT.
00:17:52.60\00:17:54.73
CANTALOUPE, IT'S A FRUIT.
00:17:54.73\00:17:55.83
AND THEY'RE IN
THE SQUASH FAMILY.
00:17:55.83\00:17:57.90
TOMATO IS A FRUIT.
00:17:57.90\00:17:59.60
ANYTHING THAT IS THE PRODUCT
OF THE BLOSSOM LIKE APPLES
00:17:59.60\00:18:02.83
AND PEARS AND
TANGERINES, THEY'RE ALL FRUIT.
00:18:02.83\00:18:04.70
ANY OTHER PART OF THE PLANT,
THE LEAF, VEGETABLE; THE STALK,
00:18:04.70\00:18:08.66
VEGETABLE; THE ROOT, VEGETABLE.
00:18:08.66\00:18:11.26
SO IF IT'S NOT THE PRODUCT
OF THE BLOSSOM AND, OF COURSE,
00:18:11.26\00:18:14.03
YOU'VE GOT THE
SEEDS, WHICH ARE THE SAME AS
00:18:14.03\00:18:16.60
YOU'VE GOT NUTS AND SO FORTH.
00:18:16.60\00:18:19.16
ALRIGHT, THAT IS THE
IDEAL DIET, A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:18:19.16\00:18:23.73
UNDER THAT DIET,
THE JURY IS IN NOW.
00:18:23.73\00:18:26.16
IT IS VERY CLEAR
THAT A VEGETARIAN DIET IS
00:18:26.16\00:18:29.30
THE OPTIMUM DIET FOR MAN.
00:18:29.30\00:18:31.73
HOW MANY OF YOU SAW THE REPORT
IN "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC" A FEW
00:18:31.73\00:18:33.66
MONTHS BACK WHERE THEY
ACTUALLY HIGHLIGHTED SEVENTH-DAY
00:18:33.66\00:18:36.80
ADVENTISTS AS ONE OF THE GROUPS
TO BE STUDIED BECAUSE THEY ARE
00:18:36.80\00:18:39.86
AMONG THE LONGEST LIVING GROUP
OR AMONG THE LONGEST LIVING
00:18:39.86\00:18:43.50
PEOPLE WITH LESS DISEASE.
00:18:43.50\00:18:45.40
AND BOY, THOSE STATISTICS
WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT BETTER IF
00:18:45.40\00:18:48.33
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
FOLLOWED WHAT THEY KNOW.
00:18:48.33\00:18:51.00
I'M AMAZED THAT WE STILL
EVEN GOT NOTICED BECAUSE SO MANY
00:18:51.00\00:18:53.03
DON'T FOLLOW WHAT THEY KNOW.
00:18:53.03\00:18:54.46
AND INDEED, MANY ARE
VEGETARIANS, WHICH IS GREAT,
00:18:54.46\00:18:57.93
BUT THEN THEY PIG OUT ON SUGAR,
PARDON ME, AND THEY HAVE A WHOLE
00:18:57.93\00:19:02.03
OTHER RAFT OF PROBLEMS
THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT.
00:19:02.03\00:19:04.30
IF WE'D FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLES
OF HEALTH--BUT IN SPITE OF THAT,
00:19:04.30\00:19:07.53
"NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC" AND OTHERS
HAVE DONE A NUMBER OF STUDIES
00:19:07.53\00:19:10.66
'CAUSE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
HAVE A LOT LESS OF CERTAIN TYPES
00:19:10.66\00:19:13.20
OF DISEASES AND CANCERS BECAUSE
THEY ARE LARGELY OR A HIGH
00:19:13.20\00:19:17.20
PERCENTAGE OF THEM VEGETARIANS.
00:19:17.20\00:19:19.43
I'M A VEGETARIAN AND I HAVE BEEN
FOR 30 YEARS NOW, AND I THINK
00:19:19.43\00:19:24.26
SOME PEOPLE HAVE PROBABLY
SLIPPED ME SOME STUFF AT
00:19:24.26\00:19:27.13
POT-LUCKS BEFORE,
I WASN'T AWARE OF.
00:19:27.13\00:19:30.73
THAT'S WHY WE
PRAY BEFORE WE EAT.
00:19:30.73\00:19:34.40
BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A FEW
TIMES I'VE BEEN IN THE AIRPORT
00:19:34.40\00:19:36.80
IN A RESTAURANT AND I HAD
TO PICK A FEW THINGS ASIDE.
00:19:36.80\00:19:39.43
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:19:39.43\00:19:41.10
BUT I'VE BEEN A VEGETARIAN
FOR 30 YEARS NOW, AND I'M
00:19:41.10\00:19:44.03
A GRANDFATHER AND I THINK
I'M IN PRETTY GOOD HEALTH.
00:19:44.03\00:19:47.26
I'M NOT GOING TO DO A
BACK HANDSPRING THOUGH
00:19:47.26\00:19:48.70
THIS SABBATH MORNING.
00:19:48.70\00:19:50.33
BUT LOOK AT THIS.
00:19:50.33\00:19:52.63
[GROANING]
00:19:52.63\00:19:57.16
OKAY.
00:19:59.26\00:20:02.06
SO, THAT'S ALL I'LL
DO FOR SABBATH MORNING.
00:20:02.06\00:20:07.10
GOT FIVE GRANDKIDS.
00:20:07.10\00:20:09.43
IF YOU'RE A
VEGETARIAN, LET ME SEE.
00:20:09.43\00:20:11.36
I WONDER IF I COULD LIFT THIS.
00:20:11.36\00:20:15.70
YOU WILL FEEL A LOT BETTER.
00:20:15.70\00:20:18.10
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN PLAYING
RACQUETBALL WITH A FEW OF
00:20:18.10\00:20:20.10
THE GENTLEMEN HERE.
00:20:20.10\00:20:21.50
I CAN SEE DANE BACK THERE.
00:20:21.50\00:20:22.96
DANE, AM I IN GOOD HEALTH?
00:20:22.96\00:20:25.06
OKAY, HE'S BEEN
PLAYING RACQUETBALL WITH ME.
00:20:25.06\00:20:26.80
THE IDEA THAT YOU DON'T
GET ENOUGH CARBOHYDRATES OR YOU
00:20:26.80\00:20:31.60
DON'T GET ENOUGH
PROTEIN IF YOU'RE A VEGETARIAN,
00:20:31.60\00:20:33.93
THAT IS A TOTAL MYTH.
00:20:33.93\00:20:35.76
YOU GET PLENTY OF PROTEIN.
00:20:35.76\00:20:37.00
AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING
YOU NEED PROTEIN, THEY'RE OFTEN
00:20:37.00\00:20:39.23
SAYING YOU NEED A LOT
MORE THAN YOU REALLY NEED.
00:20:39.23\00:20:42.03
THE FACT IS THAT SOME OF
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING THE
00:20:42.03\00:20:44.76
LONGEST, THEY'RE VEGETARIANS.
00:20:44.76\00:20:47.13
I WENT TO AUSTRALIA WITH A
FAMILY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
00:20:47.13\00:20:50.56
AND WHILE WE WERE THERE, WE
WENT TO VISIT WHAT THEY CALL
00:20:50.56\00:20:53.06
"THE AUSTRALIA ZOO."
00:20:53.06\00:20:54.86
AND WE WERE INTRODUCED
TO HARRIET THE TORTOISE.
00:20:54.86\00:20:57.36
THIS IS A
PICTURE I ACTUALLY TOOK.
00:20:57.36\00:20:59.33
IT'S AN AMAZING STORY.
00:20:59.33\00:21:00.80
HARRIET THE TORTOISE
WAS FIRST PICKED UP IN 1845
00:21:00.80\00:21:05.73
BY CHARLES DARWIN.
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.96
ACTUALLY, CHARLES DARWIN THOUGHT
IT WAS TOM, DICK AND HARRY.
00:21:07.96\00:21:11.10
AND FOR YEARS, THEY
THOUGHT HARRIET WAS HARRY.
00:21:11.10\00:21:15.16
AND AFTER LIVING IN ENGLAND
FOR A FEW YEARS, THEY WERE ABOUT
00:21:15.16\00:21:18.46
THE SIZE OF DINNER PLATES
WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM TO ENGLAND.
00:21:18.46\00:21:21.16
A COUPLE OF THEM
DIED; TOM AND DICK DIED.
00:21:21.16\00:21:23.80
HARRY SURVIVED, BUT
DARWIN FELT BAD BECAUSE
00:21:23.80\00:21:27.03
IT WASN'T DOING WELL.
00:21:27.03\00:21:28.13
PUT HIM ON A WHALING
SHIP, SENT HIM TO AUSTRALIA.
00:21:28.13\00:21:30.16
HARRY LIVED IN THE BOTANICAL
GARDENS THERE AND THE POOR
00:21:30.16\00:21:32.43
THING, THEY TRIED TO FORCE
UNNATURAL RELATIONS ON HIM FOR
00:21:32.43\00:21:35.46
YEARS SO THAT HE WOULD
BREED, NOT KNOWING THAT HARRY
00:21:35.46\00:21:39.53
WAS REALLY A HARRIET.
00:21:39.53\00:21:44.46
THEN, HE WAS FINALLY SOLD
TO THE AUSTRALIA ZOO, SHE.
00:21:44.46\00:21:49.23
AND OLDEST LIVING CREATURE
ON EARTH THAT THEY KNOW OF RIGHT
00:21:49.23\00:21:52.66
NOW, 175 OR -6
YEARS OF AGE, VEGETARIAN.
00:21:52.66\00:22:00.73
SO, IF YOU EAT A VEGETARIAN
DIET, YOU'LL LOOK LIKE THAT.
00:22:00.73\00:22:04.96
NO.
00:22:04.96\00:22:08.16
NUMBER FIVE: WHAT ITEMS ARE
SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED BY GOD
00:22:08.16\00:22:13.36
AS BEING UNCLEAN AND
FORBIDDEN IN THE BIBLE?
00:22:13.36\00:22:16.36
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME
THINGS GOD SAYS YOU SHOULDN'T
00:22:16.36\00:22:18.20
EAT AT ALL.
00:22:18.20\00:22:19.10
THEY'RE UNCLEAN, THEY'RE AN
ABOMINATION, DON'T EAT THEM.
00:22:19.10\00:22:21.16
AND THE LIST IS GIVEN IN
LEVITICUS 11:3, IT SAYS, "AMONG
00:22:21.16\00:22:24.83
THE ANIMALS, WHATEVER DIVIDES
THE HOOF, HAVING CLOVEN HOOVES
00:22:24.83\00:22:29.93
AND CHEWING THE
CUD; THAT YOU MAY EAT."
00:22:29.93\00:22:32.50
SO, AN ANIMAL NEEDED
BOTH CHARACTERISTICS.
00:22:32.50\00:22:35.00
IT NEED TO CHEW THE CUD,
YOU KNOW, LIKE A COW OR A SHEEP
00:22:35.00\00:22:37.93
OR GOAT, AND IT NEEDED
TO HAVE THE CLOVEN HOOF.
00:22:37.93\00:22:40.90
AND THEY WERE CONSIDERED TO
BE CLEAN ANIMALS IF THEY HAD
00:22:40.90\00:22:43.70
THOSE TWO CHARACTERISTICS.
00:22:43.70\00:22:45.30
IF THEY DID NOT HAVE
THOSE TWO CHARACTERISTICS AMONG
00:22:45.30\00:22:47.50
THE MAMMALS, THEY
SHOULD NOT BE EATEN.
00:22:47.50\00:22:50.40
NOW, SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD
ABOUT THE NUTRITIONAL PYRAMID
00:22:50.40\00:22:54.36
THAT HAS BEEN RELEASED
BY THE HEALTH INDUSTRIES OF
00:22:54.36\00:22:58.70
NORTH AMERICA.
00:22:58.70\00:23:00.60
YOU'VE PROBABLY
SEEN THIS BEFORE.
00:23:00.60\00:23:03.06
IT TALKS ABOUT THE FOODS
YOU SHOULD EAT THE MOST OF,
00:23:03.06\00:23:05.36
AND THE FOODS YOU SHOULD
EAT THE LEAST OF FOR HEALTH.
00:23:05.36\00:23:07.06
AT THE BOTTOM, THEY'VE GOT
THE BREADS AND THE CEREALS,
00:23:07.06\00:23:09.60
THE RICE, THE PASTA.
00:23:09.60\00:23:10.63
IN GROUP ONE, THAT'S SUPPOSED
TO BE REALLY WHAT YOU COMBINE
00:23:10.63\00:23:13.03
THE BULK OF YOUR DIET.
00:23:13.03\00:23:14.43
THEN, THEY PUT IN GROUP TWO,
THE FRUITS AND THE VEGETABLES.
00:23:14.43\00:23:17.76
I REALLY THINK THAT
OUGHT TO BE ON THE BOTTOM TIER.
00:23:17.76\00:23:21.56
AND THEN AT THE--THEY'VE
GOT, YOU KNOW, THE MEATS AND THE
00:23:21.56\00:23:23.96
CHEESES AND THE
ANIMAL PRODUCTS AT THE TOP.
00:23:23.96\00:23:26.13
AND THEN, THEY'VE GOT
THE FATS AND THE OILS.
00:23:26.13\00:23:28.23
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'D BE A LOT
BETTER IF YOU JUST CUT THE TOP
00:23:28.23\00:23:30.70
TWO TIERS OFF THAT PYRAMID.
00:23:30.70\00:23:32.16
YOU'D LIVE A LOT LONGER.
00:23:32.16\00:23:33.76
YOU'D FEEL A LOT BETTER, AND YOU
WOULD HAVE A LOT LESS PROBLEMS
00:23:33.76\00:23:36.70
WITH DISEASE.
00:23:36.70\00:23:37.46
YOU'D HAVE MORE ENERGY.
00:23:37.46\00:23:39.06
NOW, I'LL TELL YOU I
KNOW THIS PERSONALLY.
00:23:39.06\00:23:42.56
DON'T LAUGH, BUT I'M GOING
TO SHOW YOU AN OLD PICTURE.
00:23:42.56\00:23:45.70
I HAD A BUSINESS SELLING STEAKS,
AND YOU CAN SEE PART OF THE SIGN
00:23:45.70\00:23:48.56
THERE ON THE VOLKSWAGEN.
00:23:48.56\00:23:49.93
IT SAYS "WHOLESALE
PRIME BEEF STEAKS."
00:23:49.93\00:23:51.86
I GOT INTO THIS MEAT BUSINESS
WHERE I WOULD BUY SECTIONS
00:23:51.86\00:23:54.13
OF BEEF.
00:23:54.13\00:23:54.83
I'D BUTCHER THEM.
00:23:54.83\00:23:55.46
I DROVE AROUND THE DESERT
CITIES IN MY VOLKSWAGEN WITH A
00:23:55.46\00:23:57.40
REFRIGERATED COOLER IN THE BACK,
AND I SOLD BUTCHERED STEAKS.
00:23:57.40\00:24:01.10
BUT I HAD THE
BEST CUTS FOR MYSELF.
00:24:01.10\00:24:04.06
AND I WAS EATING STEAK
LITERALLY THREE TIMES A DAY.
00:24:04.06\00:24:07.56
I'D HAVE NEW YORK
STEAK AND EGGS FOR BREAKFAST.
00:24:07.56\00:24:11.33
I'D HAVE FILET MIGNON FOR LUNCH.
00:24:11.33\00:24:13.33
AND I'D HAVE T-BONE FOR DINNER.
00:24:13.33\00:24:15.13
AND I HAD A VORACIOUS
APPETITE AND A 30-INCH WAIST.
00:24:15.13\00:24:17.60
IT WAS AMAZING.
00:24:17.60\00:24:18.73
THEN, I'D TOP IT OFF
WITH A QUART OF ICE CREAM
00:24:18.73\00:24:20.23
BEFORE I WENT TO BED.
00:24:20.23\00:24:22.26
I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED I
WAS NOT FEELING AS WELL,
00:24:22.26\00:24:25.96
EATING THE RICH DIET.
00:24:25.96\00:24:29.50
AND I BECAME A VEGETARIAN
BEFORE I JOINED THE SEVENTH-DAY
00:24:29.50\00:24:33.46
ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:24:33.46\00:24:35.60
IT WASN'T FOR ME
SOME RELIGIOUS CRITERIA.
00:24:35.60\00:24:38.10
AND IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I
LEARNED SO MUCH WHILE I WAS
00:24:38.10\00:24:41.06
SELLING MEAT ABOUT MEAT AND
THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INDUSTRY
00:24:41.06\00:24:44.20
AND THE SANITATION
ISSUES, I THOUGHT, "MAN,
00:24:44.20\00:24:46.93
THIS STUFF IS NOT CLEAN.
00:24:46.93\00:24:49.66
AND THE ANIMALS AREN'T ALL
HEALTHY AND THEY STILL SELL IT."
00:24:49.66\00:24:52.53
IF SOMETIMES THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO WITH IT, IT
00:24:52.53\00:24:55.33
TURNS INTO HAMBURGER.
00:24:55.33\00:24:57.30
AND IF PEOPLE ONLY KNEW WHAT
I KNEW, IT'D BE A LOT EASIER
00:24:57.30\00:25:00.80
FOR YOU TO
APPRECIATE THE VEGETARIAN DIET.
